McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Brietta]

I have to agree. It's alright for some to criticise the PJ in hindsight but the evidence on the ground at the time was pretty damning towards the McCanns. The fact that Kate McCann showed a total reluctance to answer police questions when interviewed only served to highten police suspicions imo.

Martin Smith's intervention only served to solidify those suspicions so one can't really criticise the police on the ground for coming to the conclusions they came to in 2007.

How can any credence given to a supposedly trained investigator who published in his latest book, "These children were medicated, or given to sleep a medically named Calpol, which is an antihistamine, that put them to sleep. The investigation has to know what is the relationship between taking this medicine and the possible death of the child. And for that we need the clinical history. We need to know if she had a problem." Amaral

Amaral contrived a narrative in 2007 which was nonsensical at the time but there is something Kafkaesque about his self justification of insistence on it's continued promulgation all these years later.

• the children had not been medicated with a child's medicine
• Calpol is not an antihistamine
• and even if it was I doubt it would have the killer outcome dictated by Amaral's fantasy.

  Is it safe to give antihistamine and paracetamol at the same time?

  Yes: In usual doses, there should be no problem in taking an antihistamine together with paracetamol (acetaminophen). Dr. Pamela Pappas and 3 doctors agree

It is way past the time that the internet innuendo directed against the McCanns was turned down a notch or two or even abandoned entirely.  Particularly when much of it is based on nothing but the tripe circulated by Amaral's self serving prejudices.

Perhaps the McCanns will sue him (again).

[Brietta]

The McCanns don't need to sue him and if you really are incapable of recognising that I think you have a problem.

[Mr Gray]

Perhaps the McCanns will sue him (again).

hes hiding behind the portuguese courts who have protected him....probably through ignorance. He wouldnt dare publish in the UK

[Wonderfulspam]

The law interests me...as do a lot of other things. Im just getting into astro astronomy with one of my sons.......initial aim is to get a photograph oh The Orion Nebula...no telescope .....just camera...not as difficult as I expected

Well, I just want to see Uranus.

[Mr Gray]

I think she mentioned psychics, are they the same thing? Neither of them have been used by the courts as expert witnesses to my knowledge.

sceptics think Hyatt is reliable....never been accepted in court as evidence.

The dogs are  controversial and been used very few times. Im wondering what will happen if its proved Maddie did not die in the apartmnet. Grime and his dogs will be publicly discredited.....will the Dandre lane case be reopened. how ironic if he walks free due to the dog alerts and grimes testimony being allowed as evidence. that would be  aman almmost certainly guilty walking free because of Grime.

[Mr Gray]

They say the old ones are the best but Im not so sure.... some sceptics think theyve seen uranus....but it was their elbow. They dont know the difference

I've heard that Uranus is a Gas Giant.  Parp!

if its any constellation...Ive far more respect for you than gunit

This was her right.  And the advice of her Lawyer.  Does this not count anymore?

In a formal interview, a lawyer who advises no comment answers in a situation where the suspect is the parent of a missing child, must have good reasons for doing so. It's not rocket science.

[John]

If answering all the questions means the police are less likely to suspect you then where does that leave Gerry?

He cooperated fully didn't he.

[John]

So by her not answering the questions during her arguido interview do you think that means she's involved in Madeleine's disappearance?

To the interviewer it certainly created a reason to doubt her.

I don't know how often I have repeated this but the parents of a child who has been supposedly abducted usually cooperate with the police and do so willingly and comprehensively.

Kate McCanns conduct was bizarre

absolutely agree ....and the possibility of being held on remand for 12 months without trial is an extremely good reason to refuse to answer questions....added to that the co ordinator of the investigation is an arguido of a case with similarities where  a confession was beaten out of the suspect

According to Kate McCann her lawyer thought it was 'the safest option'. I think she later changed to another lawyer (?).

[John]

Most of the public know nothing of the 48 questions. Refusal to answer questions can be for several reasons. If Kate has thought those questions would help for the search she would have answered them. She probably felt answering the questions could have hindered the search

I disagree. The only reason she refused to answer the questions at the arguido interview was imo simply an act of self preservation.
